High Productivity Welding Processes and Automation for the Energy Industry
stry, with particular reference to oil sands development, is facing some significantus years, some of the key challenges were labor shortage, cost escalation and rge capital projects. Considering the global economic climate, it will be critical, in fabrication and construction industry to reduce costs, improve productivity and edule. Productivity evaluations have identified that the adoption of modern welding tomation can substantially improve shop production by 20 – 55% (and higher). ost production, whilst maintaining quality, have obvious benefits for the industry in ng-term horizons.
ection is hosting a one-day education seminar that will showcase significant g welding processes and automation specifically suited for fabrication withinustries. The event will include welding demonstrations and will be of value for welding activities, including: shop foremen, superintendents, quality control nal engineers, inspectors, welders and students of metals-related disciplines.

Keynote Speaker
Models and Animations in Welding: Better Practice with Video Games Dr. T. DebRoy, Dept of Materials Science and Engineering, Pennsylvania State University
Modern computer models and animations are powerful tools in producing defect free, structurally sound and reliable welds based on scientific principles. Numerical calculations of heat transfer and materials flow can now be relied upon to understand and control weld zone geometry, temperature fields, thermal cycles and solidification parameters with a fair degree of confidence for the joining of a wide variety of materials of different sizes. Recent models and animations demonstrate these emerging capabilities and add to the growing quantitative knowledge base in the practice of welding. This growing knowledge base, embodying applications of numerical transport phenomena, can serve as a basis for improving quality, reliability and serviceability of welded structures.
Speaker Biography:
Dr. DebRoy is Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at the Pennsylvania State University. His research focuses on numerical heat transfer and materials flow in materials processing, particularly welding. He has authored four edited books and over 270 papers that have been cited about 3500 times in the literature. He is currently designing numerical models that enforce agreement between model predictions and experimental results and tailors product attributes based on scientific principles. His research has been recognized by the International Institute of Welding’s Arata and Easterling awards, American Welding Society’s Honorary Membership and Adams Lecture awards, and Penn State's Faculty Scholar Medal. Dr. DebRoy is a Fellow of the American Welding Society and ASM International and serves as a Principal Reviewer of the AWS Welding Journal and Editor of Science and Technology of Welding and Joining.

Presentation Speakers & Abstract AC Square Wave Submerged Arc Welding Fundamentals and a Review of Common SAW Weld Defects David Jordan & Teresa Melfi, Lincoln Electric
The fundamentals associated with AC Submerged Arc Welding will be presented. The theory and the capabilities of Lincoln's unique inverter square wave AC submerged arc welding will be explained in terms of how the technology affects deposition rate, operability and weld quality. In addition, examples will be provided of applications where AC submerged arc welding have been used. The second portion of the presentation will focus on submerged arc welding consumable developments, as well as some common submerged arc welding defects and how to avoid them. Advancements in Pipe Welding & Induction Heating Technology Craig Spindler, Miller Electric & Hobart Brothers (ITW Welding Companies)
This discussion will focus on the advantages of using Modified GMAW and GMAW-P processes in pipe welding. The discussion will also touch on the advantages of Induction Heating during and after pipe welding. Automated Solutions for Energy Jack Schroeder, ESAB Automation
The presentation will cover the latest in automation technologies, including sub-arc controllers, telescopic CAB's, new narrow-gap technologies, 3D friction stir robotics and the latest developments for pipe and vessel welding. Automated Welding for the Energy Industry Carl Heinrich, Roboweld Inc.
A welding automation overview will be provided, along with case studies of effective automation in the Alberta market. The topics covered include Robotic Welding with: TANDEM MIG on circumferential weldments, Inconel overlay, Laser Vision for varying joint gaps, and pipe spool fabrication. In the afternoon, there will be live demonstrations of the pipe welding robot – HAWS. Waveform Controlled Welding Processes & Heat Input: Proposed Changes to ASME Section IX Matthew Yarmuch, Alberta Research Council
The presentation will provide background information on the instantaneous behaviour of current and voltage waveforms during complex waveform welding. The importance of appropriate heat input measurement techniques will be discussed and correlated with weldment quality. Finally, proposed changes to the ASME Section IX code related to measuring heat input during procedure qualification will be presented and discussed.
